Teenage Engineering PO-20 Arcade

Pocket Operators are small, ultra portable music devices, with studio quality sound and the flexibility to make music on the go. Affordable for everyone and compatible with all other music gear.



All pocket operator models perfectly complement each other. From drum machine, bass and lead synthesizers to noise percussion, the various unique units allow you to start a pocket band.



Use them separately or connect them together, the choice is yours.

The PO-20 Arcade is the essential Pocket Operator for those nostalgic for a retro 8-bit sound. This unit is inspired by sounds from an old-school gaming arcade. Each sound can be tweaked with 16 punch-in effects such as bit crush, delay and stutter. 128-chord chaining allows for sophisticated arrangements - improvise to your heart's content and let the chiptune nostalgia take over!
